Former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci says President Trump “is giving people a license to hate… I think you have to consider a change at the top of the ticket when someone is acting like this.” https://t.co/tqeN0DiLCWpic.twitter.com/KK1w3e927O

President Trump on Monday hit back at Anthony Scaramucci after the former White House aide suggested the GOP should consider replacing Trump atop the ticket in 2020.

Scaramucci, who like so many others had nothing to do with my Election victory, is only upset that I didn’t want him back in the Administration (where he desperately wanted to be). Also, I seldom had time to return his many calls to me. He just wanted to be on TV!

You are losing your fastball— very weak troll. Bullying is the most anti-American thing in our culture and it is emanating from the Oval Office. Many have called and are willing to work on a necessary replacement. Time to call in a good relief pitcher. @potus is lost.

Now, it’s open war. Scaramucci predicted GOP mandarins would now open their eyes to the damage Trump is inflicting on the party, although it’s not clear what is different about this latest episode.

“If he keeps it up, it will no longer be unspeakable,” he said. “The minute they start speaking of it, it will circulate and be socialized. We can’t afford a full nuclear contamination site post 2020.”

Scaramucci served as White House communications director for 11 days in 2017 before he was fired for making profane comments about his colleagues to a reporter.

Despite his brief tenure, he has remained one of the most visible former Trump administration officials. Scaramucci appears regularly on cable news, where until recently he often defended Trump’s policies and rhetoric. He published a book last year titled “Trump, the Blue-Collar President” that was complimentary of the president’s ability to connect with voters.

Comedienne Samantha Bee of “Full Frontal” television fame launched into yet another anti-Trump rant on Wednesday night, during which Bee compared the president to the deranged shooter who recently committed a mass atrocity in El Paso, Texas.

“A compromise that gives everyone a win, including the El Paso shooter, who called for tighter immigration laws in his manifesto,” said Bee. “This was one of the deadliest hate crimes against Hispanics in our country’s history. Using it to give our xenophobic president a win would be a slap in the face. It would be like if we passed reparations for slavery but only gave them to Mel Gibson.”

“Trump and the Republicans have laid out a clear solution to end gun violence,” Bee concluded. “First, cure the mental illness they invented, then get rid of video games, the internet, plus transgender people, same-sex marriage, drag queens, marijuana, kneeling athletes, and Barack Obama — and while we’re at it, all embrace Jesus Christ as our savior. It’s just that simple! Well, how about this? Get rid of the guns. If not, come November 2020, we’ll just get rid of you.”
